Launching into tomorrow: NRIC guides new era of research and deployment
In June 2025, the Department of Energy announced the Reactor Pilot Program, an authorization pathway that allowed reactor developers to partner with the DOE to get first-of-a-kind (FOAK) reactors built and tested. Soon after, the DOE rolled out a complementary Fuel Line Pilot Program, which aimed to fast-track fuel projects. In all, 20 projects were accepted into the new programs.

Various alloys with face-centered cubic structures were irradiated to fast fluences of 1.5 × 1021 n/cm2 (E > I MeV) and tested in tension at elevated temperatures. The alloys that were investigated included pure nickel (99.999%), Nickel 200, a non-nickel manganese stabilized stainless steel (Tenelon), and two cobalt alloys. One of the cobalt alloys contained 10% nickel (Haynes Stellite-25) while the other was nickel free (UMCo-50). It was found that irradiation caused embrittlement in all of these alloys when they were tested in tension at elevated temperatures.
